Searing Ray is a level 2 Conjurations spell which fires a penetrating beam of energy. The caster gains a Ray status once they fire it, and each subsequent turn that they perform no other action, the searing ray refires at the original target (if applicable) or along the last beam path. It will do this 3 times. Each additional ray costs 1 MP, thus costing 5 for a full cast.

Note that, in order to continue casting Searing Ray, you must pass your turn with the s or . key after casting it only once. The tab or shift tab key will also automatically advance the spell. Recasting the spell will simply start a new ray (at the full MP cost). Also, be aware that paralysis, confusion, sleep, full petrification, and berserk will end the spell immediately, as will being moved by any effect (an elephant's trampling attack, the Primal Wave spell, an unintentional blink, etc.). Silence however will not.
